Re: Finding IPL Text for Stand Alone Dump
--snip- It would be a good idea to IPL the SADMP to verify its operation anyway. Much better than finding out it doesn't work when you actually need it! ---unsnip--- AMEN, BROTHER!

Finding IPL Text for Stand Alone Dump
Is there a way to find out if a volume has the IPL Text for taking a Stand Alone Dump? I'm pretty sure that the IPL text is on the master catalog volume, but is there any way to verify that?

The presence of a SYS1.PAGEDUMP dataset on the volume is a pretty strong indicator, though I guess it would be possible to lose the actual IPL text and leave the dataset, in which case a dump of track 0 should be pretty clear.

Re: Finding IPL Text for Stand Alone Dump
Eric, They can be on any volume of your choosing. If local convention dictates the master catalog volume that'd be true. Look for a volume with a SYS1.PAGEDUMP.Vnnn dataset. The SAD build doesn't catalog these. I modify the AMDSADMP macro so they are cataloged on my system.

Re: Finding IPL Text for Stand Alone Dump
Thanks to all who replied, especially the reply below. I discovered that I had a pack called SADPGM with the SYS1.PAGEDUMP dataset on it. It also had AMDSAIPD in the text, so I'm pretty sure that is the correct pack.

Re: Finding IPL Text for Stand Alone Dump
Dump track 0 of cylinder 0, as described below, on what you know to be your SYSRES volume, dump track 0 of cylinder 0 on what you think is a SAD-capable volume, and then compare the printouts for R1 and R2 on the two volumes. You should see eyeball-readable text saying SAD or Standalone Dump instead of IPLTEXT, or something like that. Or get some standalone test time and try to IPL from what you think is the SAD volume.

Re: Finding IPL Text for Stand Alone Dump
Did you check if it is the correct level of SADMP? The dumped text will include the FMID that will tell you what level of the SADMP code is on the pack.

Re: Finding IPL Text for Stand Alone Dump
It would be a good idea to IPL the SADMP to verify its operation anyway. Much better than finding out it doesn't work when you actually need it! -- Regards, Gord Tomlin Action Software International (a division of Mazda Computer Corporation) Tel: (905) 470-7113, Fax: (905) 470-6507 Bill Fairchild wrote (snipped): Or get some standalone test time and try to IPL from what you think is the SAD volume. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
